Simulation and analysis is one of the segments of product lifecycle management (PLM) software. Simulation and analysis software simulates and analyses a products' strength, durability, safety, and effect of heat and vibration on the product. Simulation and analysis software consists of three segments: finite element analysis (FEA),computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and electromagnetics (Emag). Engineers use simulation and analysis software to test and simulate the product design during the product development cycle. It helps to reduce the costly errors and improves the timeto-market of a product.
